For additional I/O, the system supports Sealevel's SeaI/O family data acquisition modules. Available interfaces include reed and Form C relays, optically isolated inputs, TTL, A/D, and D/A, according to the company. The R1000 communicates with the SeaI/O modules via Modbus RTU, allowing one or more SeaI/O modules to be physically attached to the system or located up to 4000 feet away.
The SeaPAC systems include a rugged panel-mount bezel that provides Nema 4/IP65 protection from sprayed liquids on the front surface, according to the company. A resistive touchscreen is available as an option. A VESA mounting bracket can be used to attach the system to a mounting arm.
"Windows XP Embedded is a perfect operating system choice for SeaPAC systems," Sealevel says. The company offers assistance with "efficiently transferring customer applications" to the system's Windows XP Embedded platform.
